    It won't be vetoed. However, what merit does the Buddha have when he taught sentient beings to do meritorious deeds, not to think about meritorious deeds, to regard sentient beings as oneself, and to do things for oneself as a matter of course?

    Basically, if the motive for doing good is not pure, you still have merit.

    That's because of your good deeds and all sentient beings benefit, so the merit is still there, but you don't really do good deeds.

    Cultivating Buddha is to be reborn in the Western Elysium, and he has already seen through the prosperity of the world, and there is nothing in the world that can be cherished and owned. Everything is illusory.

    There will be no veto, but there will be fewer benefits.

    Bodhisattvas do good deeds and are not attached to merit, so merit is immeasurable!

    If you do good deeds purely for the sake of good fortune, the merit of doing good deeds will be discounted, and you have to do good deeds without dwelling on your heart.

    Some are good ......But ......It won't be a lot. At least not as big as the scriptures say.

    No. It's just that the level is not high. People have a higher level of doing good deeds without asking for anything in return, and naturally do good deeds, otherwise if they only do good subjectively, they are easily influenced by external factors and stop or waver.

    Moreover, not being attached to doing good deeds or retribution is also the highest state.

    Although it has a purpose, it is still 'good' in terms of behavior. But one of the ten negative karma that the Buddha taught is greed. If you covet 'merit' in this life, then you can have good pleasures in your next life, but that's all there is to it, and you can't go to liberation.

    The law of karma is clear and just. If you do at least the basic 'good', then you will get the basic 'retribution'. And the retribution of greed will cause you to encounter obstacles on the path to liberation in future lives.

    If you look at it from the perspective of investment, it will be too long to wait for the next life to return. After a long time, things will change, so ordinary people can't engage in this conspiracy, only if they can look down on their own good fortune, can they think so far, otherwise it is only called deliberate, and it is not the teachings of the Buddha. Therefore, happiness in the afterlife is not something that ordinary people can strive for, at most it is very good to find it until the end of this life.

    Not only is there no blessing in doing so, but it also creates immeasurable sinful karma! Be kind! It's useless to do anything if you don't have a good heart!

    Haha: How so?

    The Buddha said that all cause and effect cycles!

    The good fortune of your life is the one you cultivated in your previous life!

    Good will be rewarded with good, evil will be rewarded with evil, it is not that it will not be reported, the time has not yet come, and when the time comes, it will definitely be rewarded.

    Doing good deeds with impure motives is also doing good deeds, and doing good deeds will never get evil retribution, but the good retribution will be smaller, and it will not be so complete (because the mind is not perfect when doing good), and it will not be so fast.

    Amitabha! Seize the rare opportunity in this life, you must get rid of the sea of samsaric suffering, otherwise it is very likely that you will suffer in the three evil realms in the next life, when will you be able to hear the Dharma again? - Far away!

    It is necessary to distinguish between the worldly truth and the ultimate truth. Emptiness, non-goodness and non-goodness are the ultimate truths, and loyalty, good and evil are worldly truths.

    The application of mundane truths and ultimate truths to different categories is something that sages who study the Dharma are most likely to get wrong, so that they often get entangled in concepts such as good and bad, desireless or desired, and having or not being.

    In the practice of Buddhism, in the three schools of precept and wisdom, precepts and concentrations are based on the concept of worldly truths, including daily life and worldly truths, and these are all categories in which worldly truths must be applied.

    And the ultimate truth is only applicable to the stage of wisdom in the Buddhist precepts, and when we practice contemplating wisdom, we need to adopt the ultimate truth, and we need to contemplate the impermanence, suffering, and selflessness of the ultimate name and color dharma, and when we practice meditation, the worldly truth does not apply. This is the realm of the ultimate truth.

    Don't confuse the worldly truths with the ultimate truths, because that would lead to a point where you don't distinguish between good and evil, between precepts and wisdom, and that you don't want to practice.

    What is good corresponds to self-nature. Amitabha!

    Because, everything is the law of cause and effect, and no one can make it so or not.

    For example, if you smoke a lot, you will be greedy and miserableThis is not painful no matter how much we think, it's impossible, it's the law of karma.

    If you are suffering, you will not have peace of mind, if you are uneasy, you will not be pure, if you are not pure, you will not grow wisdom [obstacles] All evil is smoke. And all goodness will make people happy, happy, single-minded, and peaceful.

    Therefore, the Buddha said, "Do not do all evil, but do all good."
